I have a plan, Why don't we just DO OUR BEST to get rid of ∗any∗ unneccesary
"reply-induced" text, this is nice & orderly for the archives, AND it will
reduce the strain on people with slow connections, little mailboxes, etc.
Now: if at any time it happens that some unneccesary quotes are replied,
that will be considered okay too (PERHAPS even inevitable...), just send out
a simple and friendly reminder, and hopefully people will be considerate
toward it.
That seems to me by FAR the best solution for this issue.
I hope that everyone can find themselves at ease with this "middle of the
road"
solution. I trust it will be satisfying enough for everybody.
